Re: glucose readings and 1 more question

[Guest guest]

Thank you guys so much for your help.Everyday for the last 3 days I have had

horrible readings, I've never been this high. The last two days I havent been

below 160 at 1 hour. I know you say I need to relax but its really scary to

me, that Im getting worse. Im going to call my doctor tomorrow and hopefully

find a good endocrinologist, my last one was of NO help at all.

I did have the blood test that determined I have an 85% chance of developing

type 1 and I was curious, with type 1, are your morning fasting levels bad? or

is it just food that throws things out of whack? I can really tell that they

are high, my head starts to feel fuzzy, although my fasting levels are always

( so far) fine.

Thanks so much for your help~

Thanks for your info Vicki!

Its good to know that they can atleast be controlled, I was a little

worried about that. Yea the test was the GAD antibody, I guess the

chances are more like 95% from what I just read in the Diabetes

Association book. Is there any reason why my blood sugars could have

jumped up so high from normal? I usually run about 125 at 1 hour and

the last two days its been from 145-170.

Thanks so much again!

Vicki,

I do wish the same, that they would start me on something now so I can

preserve these cells and also because Im scared of the side effects. I can

really

feel when its too high because my head starts getting kinda " fuzzy " this isnt

good is it? Its usually back down by two hours but its still scary~

I did talk to my OB ( who has been acting like my primary care dr.) and shes

calling me back today to give me her advice and hopefully send me to someone

different. The last endo was not really any help at all.

As for the diet Im following, before I was only having about 20 carbs per

meal, but now Im having to make it even lower. I've been eating alot of salads

and proteins! ALOT of peanut butter I used to be able to just eat cereal

really slowly and get good numbers but not anymore. So I have no idea what to

eat

for breakfast. Like you said, I pretty much have to cut them out completely,

is this healthy? I thought carbs were essential to have a healthy diet?

You did send me the info on LADA ( thank you!) although I havent been to the

endo since I talked to you last because my levels were in good control. I will

have to ask them about it when I go again,a nd hopefully that will be sooner

then later.

Thanks so much for your help and support vicki, I would love to talk to you

if I go on insulin to get a better understanding of what might work best for me.

Have a great day~

Thanks again Vicki for your recomendations! Today Ive started to cut out all

starchy carbs and my level has been 95 and under all day. ( I do eat soy

chips) I called my ob ( shes the one whos been dealing with my problem!) and she

is

giving me a suppliment that she wants me to try. I think its a mixture of

vitamins and herbs~ Im up for trying it, hopefully it will be of some help! I

think I am going to really try to limit starchy carbs though, its hard to

change my ways of eating but I know its for the best. I'll keep you updated as

to

where Im going with all this!

Thanks so much for your help~
